Pakistan AJK and Karakoram
 

Has anyone who does not carry any Pakistani ID motorbiked to AJK and Gilgit Baltistan?

In couple of weeks I will be solo touring in these areas and I am trying to figure out what permits or documents I would require as an American National to ride on a motorbike in AJK and Gilgit Baltistan.


Any advice will be much much appreciated!

Thank you

Im British citizen i went to Pakistan bought bike from there and started my journey from Islamabad till China border 1 month tour all you need bike documents( which no one asked but to be on the safe side) you need ID card or carry your Passport many places they ask for ID, i've travelled the world but that part is one of the most beautiful you will love it, people are so nice v helpful.

Hi Rider5,

I'm just catching up after a few months of traveling. I spent a month motorbiking in northern Pakistan and was in AJK in late May. Without Pakistani identification, it's not easy for foreigners to access that area. Since I don't have any Pakistani background or a proper NOC, it was a bit risky to travel without the necessary documentation.

Despite that, I met some fantastic locals, experienced incredible hospitality, and had a one-of-a-kind travel experience that I'll remember for a long time.

You're lucky to be able to visit that part of the world so easily :-)

I've motorbiked across all three sides of Kashmir, and each one offers unparalleled natural beauty, hidden trails, majestic mountains, and diverse cultures and languages.
